I was looking at picking one up in a .685 x 14" version to try on my son's A5. The local field paint as well as the Draxxus I use in my AB just falls through his current .687 Bigshot (falls through my J&J as well, but still shoots well). I figure he's already got a .687 and .690 barrel, why not add a .685 to the mix? At $33 including shipping, it's considerably less than a lot of others where I can specify the exact diameter.

Coudn't resist and ordered a 14" .685 barrel for my ABE and my son's A5. I'll have them just in time to bring out to "Grandma and Grandpa's" place in the country for Thanksgiving and have some good old fashioned shootouts with the family.

I've been using the 12" CP classic, .685 with cheap draxxus paint this spring and summer. It's been working fantastic.

When I first got the barrel, I took it out in the yard in January and couldn't blow a paintball through it, at all. I figured it was too tight. I screwed it on and fired a dozen and they corkscrewed unbelievably.

Now, it runs beautifully. Maybe had a film of some sort in it originally? I run it at ~285 fps with draxxus professional and/or midnight and it shoots unbelievably consistent with very little curving.

I had to make a new shroud to fit the new barrel since it's longer and shaped a little different. I did a better job on that as well so it's easier to get on and off.
